Rogers Donates $1 Million to 2026 Rogers Charity Classic
CALGARY – Rogers Communications today announced a $1 million donation to support children’s charities across Alberta through the Rogers Charity Classic.
“Year after year, Rogers Charity Classic delivers an extraordinary impact for communities, families and children across Alberta,” said Tony Staffieri, President and CEO, Rogers. “We’re proud to work with the Patron Group and other stakeholders to help bring this iconic local event to life, and to continue championing the important work of children’s charities throughout the province.”
Last year’s tournament raised a record-setting $26.6 million in support of Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, helping thousands of youth each year through programs focused on counselling, sports and family support. Since its inception, the tournament has raised $164.3 million.
Now through the end of August 2026, donations made to participating charities will be matched by up to 50% through the program’s matching pool.
“At the core of our mission to bring golf’s greatest stars back to Calgary each year is to leverage this event in an effort to make a positive impact on the youth in our community and their families,” said Jim Riddell, Chair, Rogers Charity Classic. “This donation represents our shared commitment with Rogers to helping children overcome challenges, access new opportunities, and experience the joy and hope every child deserves.”
